Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

🚨Today, we announced our Affordable Virginia Agenda to lower healthcare, housing, and energy costs for Virginia families.
Alongside @SenLouiseLucas, @SpeakerDonScott, @SenatorLocke, and @C_Herring and the full General Assembly, we’ll start building a more affordable Virginia.
My parents grew up during the height of segregation in America. This horrific display of racism is wrong and unacceptable. It has no place in our communities or politics, period.
As Virginia’s next Attorney General, I am going to stand up to the Trump Administration in the courtroom to protect Virginia families–it’s my commitment to you.
The Virginia Senate Democrats takes a historic step forward on the Virginia Momnibus Legislative Package passing:
✅ SB 740: Unconscious bias & cultural competency training for healthcare providers
✅ SB 1122: Establishing a paid family & medical leave program
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend and former colleague, Senator Henry L. Marsh, III. He was an extraordinary individual who dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice, equality, and service to his community.
Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.
UPDATING: #Va General Assembly will convene Wednesday, as required by state constitution, but - b/c of continuing #Rva water crisis - will recess until Monday for @GovernorVA’s state of the commonwealth message, lawmakers and legislative officials said tonight.
It's been just over a week since we launched this campaign for Attorney General.
I'm fired up. And I'm so grateful for your support.
Together, we're going to defeat Jason Miyares and ensure Virginia families are safe & free.
Important reminder #1: Today, September 22nd is the 1st day of early voting in VA. Democrats did that.
Important reminder #2: Extreme Republicans, like my opponent, want to make it much harder for Virginians to vote.
But don't take my word for it, hear it for yourself:
Tonight, the VA-04 Democratic Committee voted to hold a Firehouse Primary on Tuesday, December 20 to determine its nominee for the upcoming special election to fill the unexpired term of Congressman A. Donald McEachin.
Here’s what that means. (🧵1/6)
Big news for South Carolina:
A DNC panel is expected to vote tomorrow to replace Iowa with SC, according to two people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity before the official vote.

This November, voters will have a choice between someone with a record of getting things done in a bipartisan way — and an opponent who only seeks to divide our communities.
I joined @BretBaier to talk more about my commitment to the Virginians I serve:
‼️ATTN: We are appalled by the Youngkin administration's overhaul of key protections for transgender students in public schools.
LGBTQ+ students already experience much higher self-harm & suicide rates because of the discrimination they face. This will only make matters worse.
